Winter madness.

Baby, it's cold outside.
Let's stay in, drink hot chocolate, sew a little and play with mr.Haruki. He sure likes that idea.



Proteja o seu albino - Unicef Moçambique

In the year 2015 alone, 15 albinos have reportedly disappeared in Mozambique, linked to witchcraft and superstition that their body parts can bring prosperity or cure certain diseases.
This drawing was part of UNICEF MOZAMBIQUE's online campaign to stop that from happening. 

  


TedxUniversityofPorto


Last saturday, October 24th, meSenhor Balão, Ana nas Tintas, Delfim Ruas and Vitor Novo were guest artists at TEDxUniversityofPorto.  

All pictures, except the first one (that's mine), are from the official event Photographer: Mafalda Sousa.



 We had to illustrate stories made up by participantes during the coffee break.
Here are my first ideas/sketches.


 That's me on the left side and Gil, senhor balão, on the right. Trying to be as fast as we could. There wasn't a lot of time left.

Vitor and Ana, very focused on their work. 


Senhor balão.

Ana nas tintas.

 Delfim.


Vitor Novo.

And there was a lot of delicious food too!!!


Here's a picture of all the TEDx team. They did a great job at organising everything, it took them around 3 year to finally make this dream come true... Congratulations! The event was SUPER!

Thank you so much for the experience!
It was really nice to work among such talented people!

Big girls don't cry, they eat.

Food, illustration and embroidery come together to give birth to what would be missphips' first exhibition, in Porto 2015 at Oficina Cafe Criativo.










For more details of the exhibition you can check what We blog you wrote about it, here: http://www.weblogyou.pt/2015/10/as-delicias-da-missphips.html

Fashion illustrations

I was asked to do an illustration for a mozambican magazine "Chinguirira" (a yearly bilingual magazine, focused in documenting, sharing and commenting the various arts of the country), about capulana - a traditional textile. 




After that I did some more, just for fun. 




Eventually, with time I will do some more.

different species


 this week pictoplasma inspired me to return to the little monsters I used to draw during architecture classes, mostly when I was tremendously bored and siting next to Fred (please check his tumblr, this guy is too good to be ignored), we would spend hours completing each others drawings.



I had forgotten how much fun they were to do and how cute they look. 



I hope next week I'll have more "species" to show you.
have a nice week! 

learning

so i'm finally learning how to work with adobe illustrator and this is the first drawing i did using the program. you can see in the next image here how the old paper version looked. 
now i just need to learn how to use a sewing machine so i can finally make little pillows with my characters.

lost and found

Yesterday I found some old, school magazines I illustrated when I was younger.. So manga style! 


 And my old sticker albums collection I thought I had lost. 
Oh, the memories..
